Divinity original sin (classic) MAC Quit unexpectedly on start up

[Anttron]

Hi,

A couple of months ago I was playing divinity on the laptop i am currently using now and it was fine. But yesterday I opened up divinity and a black screen appeared for about 5 seconds then went back to my desktop saying:

Divinity - Original sin Quit Unexpectedly
click to reopen.... Will be sent to apple (with buttons to reopen, close or show details)

Because I also have the enhanced edition I can play that version, it works, I go into the game play for about 10 Minutes and then it crashes with the same message

With the classic Version i tried to uninstall it and download it again but it didn't work, i restarted my laptop and still noting.

All of my other steam games work perfectly, (not sure if it has to do with the model or storage but I don't think it is the storage as i have 400 + GB)

Unfortunately, there is a known issue in Sierra which will cause D:OS Classic to crash on startup. Until Apple fixes this, to play the original release would require reverting to El Capitan, if possible, or maybe playing under Windows in Bootcamp.


What are your system specs, especially the GPU and OSX version?
There is a known OSX issue with older Nvidia graphics cards (320/330/8600/9400) and most OSX versions (excluding 10.9.5, and fixed in recent versions of Sierra), which can cause freezing or crashes on startup when shadows are disabled in D:OS Enhanced Edition, and random crashes if they are not.

Try verifying the install files: in the Steam library, right click on Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.

Check for updated graphics drivers, etc.

Try pressing the Cmd key at game startup, and enable all the workarounds there.

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game? Firewalls have caused conflicts (generally on loading screens, though) and overlays from graphics tweaking/monitoring programs or chat programs have also caused issues.
Game Center has caused startup crashes, particularly in El Capitan (though generally immediately).

Having begun by saying that D:OS Classic is broken under Sierra until Apple fixes something unspecified, why follow this up with a litany of useless, time-wasting trouble-shooting advice? It's broken, period. No amount of fiddling and verifying is going to unbreak it.

The troubleshooting was for the Enhanced Edition.

Dear Raze

I'm still having this issue. The game has not yet been running on my mac. I'm running High Sierra. Whenever I start the game, it says:

"The last time you opened Divinity – Original Sin 2, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself."

Regardless of what I then do, the configuration panel opens and I can press "Start game". No matter which boxes I tick in the dialogue, I get the same message every time:

"Divinity – Original Sin 2 quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."

Now, I have tried opening the game from a different user, from Steam and from Finder with Steam closed, but no effect. I don't think I have any other programs running, besides the great list of obscure processes visible only in "Task Manager". I don't think any firewall is interfering either. I have also updated my OS from Sierra (where the same problem occurred) to High Sierra, which hasn't helped. I have subsequently uninstalled D:OS and Steam and reinstalled it all with the new OS. No effect, same problem. What I have noted, though, is that the folder under ~/Documents/Larian Studios is missing – it was probably never created since the game has never gotten going. That folder being gone, I cannot really think of anything to do.

Please help me find a solution, my purchase of the game has cost me great amounts of time already and I would very much like to just play the damn game.
